With my first pregnancy came all the excitement plus tons of questions and fears... after browsing a lot I decided to buy this book for two basic reasons: It gives you just enough information so you are not bombarded with knowledge, and the author talks about things in such a fun and interesting manner that relaxes you.
I not only got the information I wanted but the book was also very relaxing to read... I would highly recommend this book...but if you want detailed information then this may not be right for you.

good information in an easy to read format

i like this book because it's short enough that i can read a few pages and then put it down. i like the countdown format but i would advise reading a few weeks ahead because some of the experiences are right on for where you are and some you may experience before the specific week/days that it's mentioned. i also have the mayo clinic guide to a healthy pregnancy which is excellent for more medical info but this book talks about physical and emotional aspects of pregnancy. for those that are concerned there is a medical doctor as a co-author. i felt relieved reading about the tiredness (which i've never in my life experienced like this) so the book is good for letting you know what you might feel while pregnant. it's good in the first weeks when you aren't openly discussing your pregnancy with everyone to get advice and hear what other pregnant women experience. the short format and easy read is great because i just don't have the energy right now to read through pages and pages of text. highly recommended.

Great Book !

I bought this book for my daughter who has several pregnacy books. She stated this one was the best of all of them.

A special excercise for spouses....

This is a great 'add-on' book. If you're on your first pregnancy with lots of questions and concerns, get another book as your primary resource. (I asked my OB for a book he recommended, and that way ended up with one that agreed with most of what he said...cut down on confusion a lot!)

BUT...as a fun day by day source for little tidbits that you might miss in the big books, or that the big books just don't cover because they don't seem that important, this book is great. Each week there is a recap on your babies growth and developement, and otherwise there will just be an interesting little bit of information...when to expect certain things, how to respond to people who are rude about your belly, etc. It also has a little section for up to two weeks post-delivery date (and I ended up reading every one of those 14 days! haha).

What was great about this book was that it was just a nice, short couple of paragraphs each day, and my husband would read each day to me just before we turned out the lights for the night. Then off would go the lights, we'd talk about what we'd just read, say a prayer for baby, and drift off dreaming of her....
What a wonderful way to end each day, and what a wonderful bonding excercise for me and my husband, and a great way to bring him closer to baby, as well. Focusing on the baby and the developtment daily really helped make everything more real for him, and helped him connect to the whole pregnancy.
I've just found out number two is one its way, and we are looking for another similar book to do the same thing with.

The average pregnancy lasts 280 days and the suspense can be excruciating!

The Pregnancy Countdown Book starts on Day 280 and counts down the biggest milestones every step of the way with one page of helpful information for each day of your pregnancy. Here are tips from doctors and midwives, amusing anecdotes and quotes, and occasional gory-but-necessary details (if you can define the word "lochia," you know what we're talking about).

Every page offers an interesting revelation. On Day 231, your baby will be the size of a blueberry but by Day 168, he'll be the size of a large avocado. By Day 124, you'll need to stop sleeping on your back; by Day 90, air travel becomes a dicey proposition. And if you haven't planned the nursery by Day 45, you're playing with fire.

A perfect gift for expecting moms of all ages, The Pregnancy Countdown Book is a delightfully irreverent look at the craziest nine months of your life.
